Black Bottom Saints by Alice Randall
5.0
Special thanks to @amistadbooks for sending me a copy of this new book!
Black Bottom Saints was a great experience. Black folks been persevering and excelling no matter what for a LONG time. This book highlights a lot of the ancestors that you may have never heard of but did great things in their own right. It also highlights the Black Bottom (historic area in Detroit) and Idlewild (historic resort area in West Michigan).
Pick this up if you need a reminder of who came before you and what they went through so you’d have a better (not perfect) experience.
